The Corona virus pandemic has altered the way businesses are conducted globally. It is no longer possible to physically visit the client’s location (which may be located in far-off and diverse places) to perform the assigned work. The pandemic has made “Work From Home” and “Work From Anywhere” a reality for many businesses. This kind of online / remote work is made possible due to the availability of multitude of highly efficient and secure software coupled with easily accessible high speed internet. More importantly, the quality of work conducted online has remained the same as work conducted on-site, and in several cases, online work has been more productive and efficient as compared to work conducted on-site. Even though the trend of online / remote working was adopted in large scale primarily due to the pandemic, in all likelihood this trend will continue well past the pandemic due to the various benefits it offers.
We provide all our services online (IS / IT Security Audits, VAPT, Cyber Security Consultancy, Policy Formulations, Training Programs etc). In order to ensure utmost security, we use a suite of secure software to conduct online meetings, connect to client systems remotely, exchange emails etc.
Online Audit sessions (meetings and remote connections) are entirely recorded. Therefore, online audits are more evidence based and the evidence is available for verification in the future. Online meetings / video conferencing also provides an opportunity for different executives of the organization, vendors, and Directors to participate from their respective locations. This ensures that all important stakeholders of the organization participate in the audit process, irrespective of where they are physically located.
We have conducted 35+ online IS Audits of banks in multiple states post the pandemic induced lockdowns in 2020. Since location is not a barrier anymore, we can provide our services to banks (and other organizations) located anywhere in India, or abroad.
Following are some of the testimonials received from clients for whom we have conducted online audits:

“The IS Audit conducted by you for the year 2019-20 was completely satisfactory to us. We felt as if there was no difference between Online Audit and Onsite Audit (which was conducted by you in the previous years). We thank you for the guidance and suggestions.”
